    Windows 10 re-install


    We replaced the SSD in our computers with an M2 drive, and downloaded the recovery disk image on USB to install on our new drive. The PC now says the product key is invalid. The original OS was Windows 7, we then paid for a Windows 10 upgrade. Gosh, I would love to not pay 3 times for an OS for this machine. How can I get this solved?

    :)

    Installing Windows 10 using Windows 7 key

    Nope, you need to install Windows 10 first and make sure the Windows 7 key is transferred to your Windows account after you've installed Windows 10 (not quite sure how that works). I missed the last step and I could not activate Windows 10 after a re-install... Microsoft seem to have done everything they can to make it a PITA. Also, it's technically too late to do this now anyhow, as the upgrade offer has expired. But KMSPico works quite well...

    As for getting rid of Windows, delete the Windows folder.
